The Javy Báez Experience™

If his bat never left his shoulder his OBP would lead the league.

$25.5M annually for this. Start of year 5 now. Just pathetic. On a positive note; if they lock the players out all next year, this is the last season he’ll put that uniform on. I posted this a couple of days before they signed him. Wanted to be wrong, but I knew….

I thought he was gonna swing wildly at 2 pitches then homer but nope lol

He will challenge the worst pitch this year

Ironically, he had the Tigers first challenge this season (and was successful lol)

@TigersJUK Don’t forget the error that forced Skubal to face 2 more meaningless batters

You’d think after the literal 534th strikeout like that, he’d adjust. I guess not. Most obvious strikeout at bat every time. Dear god

Man and I'm rooting for him this year too💔

Don’t worry, his 2-week linsanity run that rationalizes his entire existence on the roster is yet to come. ⏳

A lot of people gave up on Javy after 2024. I backed him last year and I have no problem doing it again, be he not the only one off to a rough start

2025 All-Star!

@TigersJUK 2024 all over again.

Sad to see a El Mago fail to adjust over the years. Could have been so much more.

I knew exactly how this went before even starting the video. Brutal.

He doesn’t see sliders for shit. And at this point, he never will.

give that guy a tennis racket

Tigers promised a lot about plate discipline and transformation in hitting approach after the offensive collapse that was a major factor in blowing the Central title and suffering a playoff exit. Riley Greene and his 200 Ks rose to the top project, but Javy has always been there.

@TigersJUK You don’t have to throw him a strike

He's almost as inconsistent as that shit stain Tim Anderson

Might be the only guy to choke DOWN on the bat, instead of up, with 2 strikes. His bottom hand is hanging off the knob of the bat.

Everyone knew the third pitch would be the same as the first two. Javy was the only one who wasn’t expecting it.

Time for him to go. Mcgonigle is the short stop. Call up Trei to be utility guy. Meadows down for Wenceel.

El Mago would have the highest on base % if he didn't swing the bats for 300 straight at bats

How dare you say this, you know it would literally kill him if he took a low and away pitch 😡

Just DFA at this point

It wouldnt be so bad if Greene, Carp and Tork werent doing the same. ABs from all 4 have looked dreadful

@TigersJUK Solid AB Opposing pitchers must just chuckle to themselves when they see Javy come to the plate

i also love that he’s about a half mile back from the plate while doing this

@TigersJUK Respect my back up #dnmw

Doesn’t belong in the MLB with a weakness like this that he’s never overcome

@smf_chi

A friend of mine has a higher OBP and AVG than Javy. My friend has no arms.

A few things are certain in the world Death Taxes and Javy swinging at a low breaking ball

Why throw him a strike? Just dare him to walk.
